Perhaps you are not happy being vertically challenged and wish that you were not. There is always a way to dress that compliments your height. The following style tips would make you appear taller:
1. Embrace Monochrome
– Surprisingly, wearing the same colour top and bottom does in fact bring about the illusion of height.
-Try working with a tonal casual outfit
-With the keyword being dark, that doesn’t mean that you should go to the darkest of blacks. Don’t take it too far.
2. Remember fit
-Try not to take it too far. Don’t fall into temptation and try to buy clothes that are much too large for your smaller stature.
– Keep your jacket on the shorter side, this will show a little extra leg which will make you look taller.
3. Prepare With Proportion
– Smaller ladies have smaller features and therefore, should have smaller type clothes.
– Embrace finer details such as ruffles, florals and collars that will direct the eye in an upward direction.
4. Keep it up top
Keep the eyes upward. Refrain from accessorising anywhere other than the top half of the body. Keep those accessories to hats, scarves, eyewear, etc.
5. Ditch the belt
A visible belt will automatically split you in half. Perhaps, wear your bottoms higher on your actual and natural waist, rather than on your hips. This will emphasize leg length and remove the need for a belt at all.
6. Don’t break
Just like Goldilocks, make sure your bottom’ss length is just right. If you’re trying to sport trousers that are puddling over your shoes, you’re going to shrink in size.
– Make sure that there is no break in order to have more shoes on show. Wear trousers that are straight and narrow.
Life is not easy for tall ladies as well especially those with fear of heights. Follow these tips to look shorter in your outfits:
1. Break it up
Compared to before, where an unbroken line was essential. It’s time to break up that line and embrace features that will bring you back down to Earth.
– Try patch or flap pockets, distressed denim, etc.
2. Colour contrast
– Whether you like it or not, separates are the way to go.
– If your legs are thinner in proportion to your hips, wear darker colours on top to balance it all out.
– Oh, and wear a belt. You need to be split in half this time.
3. Play with proportion
If you just generally have a proportionally large figure, then you should probably keep your accessories the same way too.
4. Pattern punch
Since vertical stripes are the Godsend for those who are vertically challenged, any form of pattern that contains horizontal lines will send the eye sideways in the right way.
– Make sure the pattern, for example stripes or checks is on the larger scale.
– Avoid tighter checks, narrow stripes and subtle tonal motifs as it will only draw attention to the unwanted.
